Sorry if this was covered previously - a search did not completely answer my questions.
I'm thinking of doing a build on a Remington SPS tactical in .308. I'm thinking about getting the Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist stock, the one with the adjustable cheek and buttplate. I know that B&C is generally considered to be a very good value for the money, but have not read much regarding this specific stock. What are people's thoughts? I'm sure it is no McMillan or Manners, but it is a good $400 less than a stock with equivalent adjustments from either company. Also, does anyone know what kind of recoil pad it has? Does it soak up the 308 recoil, or can another pad be put on?
I'm tall and skinny, and find that getting a good cheek weld has always been an issue for me with a scope. My eye always lines up right with the top of the barrel - great for irons, terrible for scopes. I either need to get a cheek bad and bolster it up, or put on a Karsten style riser. I figure that by the time I get either the straight B&C medalist or HS precision and put a Karsten on, I might as well spend another $100 or so get one already setup for that, with the adjustable buttplate as well.
